With Jackboot Jacinda’s gun confiscation underway, NZ Police decided to hold a public grab in Christchurch and invited the media:
“Police have paid out $433,000 to 169 gun owners at the Government’s first gun buy-back event.
A steady stream of gun owners arrived at the Riccarton Racecourse in Christchurch on Saturday, the first of 258 buy-back events to be held around the country.
Canterbury’s acting district commander Mike Johnson said gun owners had come out in force for what had been a “positive experience for them and our staff”.
“We’ve had 169 people come through today, we’ve been handed over 224 firearms, 217 parts and $433,000 has been paid out.”
Yeh, real “win” there. 169 out of 249,000 + gun owners with an estimated 1.5 million firearms (most of them unregistered) decided to cash out and that’s somehow a success.
We all know it’s really only the fudds that are cashing out.
Speaking of fudds, check this idiot out:
“Ray Berard, who moved to New Zealand from Canada 25 years ago, said he “almost” got what he paid for his AR15 because he had kept it in good condition.
“I was in the army in Canada as a young guy and I was on the shooting team in Canada and when I came to work in New Zealand in the 90s I brought my rifle with me.
“I traded up for another rifle a few years ago and I shoot up at McLeans Island at the target range.”
He believed there was no need for military-style firearms in modern society.”
Did you also hand your balls in with your AR, Ray? Likely a Trudeau voter.
That aside, this is the real question with the fudds – Ray owned an AR but also believes that no-one should have one? So then why the hell have one in the first place?
This is also the crux of the fudd mindset – do as I say, not as I do. They’re no different from the upper-middle class progressives and Greens lecturing everyone else about how to live their lives but doing the exact opposite themselves.
The fudd mentality is really only about self-interest, self-preservation and a lack of personal courage. It’s cancerous idiots like Ray here and their ideas of firearm ownership which are toxic and quite frankly, pathetic behaviour in the firearm community.
However, the positive is that 99% of the firearm owning community appear to be telling Jacinda where to stick her gun confiscation. She’s been further embarrassed this week with revelations that NZ Police handed out firearm licences to over 600 people with criminal records. But yeh, take them off good people instead.
Kiwis have absolutely no reason to be handing their guns in. The deadline is December 20th, COLFO have launched a class action, criminals publicly stated they won’t hand theirs back and with the lack of registration on most categories and tiny Police resources, a huge black-market beckons.
Not to mention that the whole thing is quite frankly, bullshit, to begin with. There’s no such thing as a gun buyback. It is compensated confiscation with the threat of imprisonment. You cannot buyback something you did not own in the first place.
Essentially, the NZ government is using your own tax money to confiscate your property or throw you in prison in a national exercise of collective punishment and guilt by association.
Give them nothing.
it is nothing more than highway robbery….. no different to the stagecoach holdup artists of days gone by except for the offer of candy…. much like a pedophile offers candy to kids to have their way with them
It is a source of great amusement to see a gun nut fruitcake angered by an improvement in society, all whilst spouting the same gun nut fruitcake rhetoric fed to him by the NRA. “Did you hand in your balls too” LOL, moron.
It’s a great source of amusement to see adults that are insecure about inanimate objects champion spout the same anti-gun rhetoric fed to him my Moms Demand Action, Gun Control Australia and the like and champion authoritarianism and collective punishment, while simultaneously claiming the moral high ground.
I mean, who wouldn’t push for the wholesale confiscation of private property of the public with the threat of being thrown in a steel cage for non-compliance while being bribed with their own tax dollars, and also advocate the transfer of the monopoly on violence into government hands after a statistical anomaly in 30 years? From a crime that has not even been fully investigated?
Solid refutation of the article grampa. LOL, moron.
Well written article. Much appreciated. Hard to argue. I like the term “fudd.” I might start using it. I don’t like that alt right term “cuck!”
According to this article https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/taking-evil-guns-from-good-people-will-make-nz-safer-police/ar-AAEk5ju?fbclid=IwAR1RA9DXKZEw5htW8hOol9mNpCKUddwFlXQXQwnLVyJJI8H2AjvqeA7UAjw
there is a machine called The Shredder that disables all he surrendered guns.
We have to take that on faith. The machine is in an undisclosed location and Oz police have been notably slack over the years in actually destroying surrendered guns-eg the Melbourne Herald Sun in June 1996 reporting the rifle allegedly used at PA was from a Vic Police “buyback” from September 1992. An awful lot of faith is required to believe things will be different in NZ.
Qld Police see your example and simply say “Hold my beer” – in the Howard gun buyback over 700 (some suggest as many as 1200) Qld Pistols that were handed in by law abiding citizens were not destroyed, they were sold by one man (Frank Curr) into the NSW criminal community.

Correction: The machine is called “The Bulldozer”.
